We're a couple of relievers away from having an average team. Rauch is definitely better than most of our guys.

no he's not. he'd be the worst guy on our staff at this point in his career.

I bet Rauch would pitch better back with Nats
Lets send them the rights to Joey Eishen

Rauch has gone to the dogs. Very hittable. Lost the closer and setup job. He's a rarety; servicable for us, but stinks for Arizona...

BASES LOADED!! BE A HERO, DUNN... GET IT DUNN!!!!!

BAN THE WAVE, SELIG!!
For that matter, BAN SELIG!!!!!

Yeah, he's just had a bad start. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Watch. This is when Jon Rauch gets it together after getting brutalize this entire season!

Come on, Dukes!

houston-nat · « **Reply #387 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:44:47 pm »

Time to get rid of that 0-for-3 mark, Elijah.

I don't know. He was really bad for Arizona at the end of last year. It seems like he just isn't comfortable there for whatever reason.

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #390 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:45:40 pm »

Wow. Awful job by Dukes. Didn't even take a pitch.

PC · « **Reply #391 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:45:40 pm »

That might have been game.

...and we're still ahead by two!

Nat of the Living Dead · « **Reply #392 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:45:42 pm »

Same old Nats in that respect.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #393 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:45:58 pm »

freak freak freak. that is going to end up costing us because we all know our BP needs more than 2-run lead.

Dunn hurt us there. your #4 hitter has to be able to drive in a run off a struggling RHP in that situation.

eagleskins · « **Reply #394 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:46:11 pm »

Need to put Dukes on the bench.

Maybe. He hasn't been injured, though (right?), so it's hard to believe he just lost it.

EdStroud · « **Reply #396 on:** May 08, 2009, 11:46:26 pm »

Doesn't look right in the Uniform either

yep. Rauch has lost it. he was so bad at the beginning of this year that Melvin started to use him strictly in mop up situations.

Are you kidding? You're just going to let Dukes off the hook? He swung at the first pitch.
